Morning view of a stone ghat on the Ganga river in Varanasi, with weathered sandstone steps leading down to brown water. Several small wooden boats with blue and white paint are moored at the bottom of the steps. On the left, a few men stand or bathe in the shallow water, one wearing a white dhoti and another in pink shorts, and a pink cloth hangs over a railing. Multi-storey buildings with balconies, a domed chhatri and a tall cylindrical pink tower rise behind the ghat, and a few figures walk on the steps under a clear pale sky.
